Yesterday afternoon Ninety defeated Eight-seven on Jarvis by a score of 12 to 4. The game was too one-sided to be interesting, and was very listlessly played, especially by Eighty-seven.

One of the most unpleasant features of the game was the fact that Ninety seemed to have two captains. Bisbee and Coolidge did the best fielding for Eighty-seven, and Mc-Leod and Young fielded well for the freshmen...

...defeats of the first of last week had a marked effect upon the Lacrosse team. In Saturday's game they went to work with great snap and vigor, and ran up a score of 4 to 1 really against the team which beat them 3 to 1 last Monday. The men are shaking in well together now, but this fact should not make them over confident.
